live on the Australian beachside whilst you work at local farms
Mojo farm and stay is located at the legendary Spot X surf camp. This beautiful beachfront accommodation is a recreational haven for backpackers and Australian natives, and has been for over 26 years. During the busy season we teach legends how to surf, and in the winter season we provide accommodation for farm labourers. The off-season for tourism is the busy season for growers who are looking for backpackers just like you to help farm operations run smoothly! We are fortunate to live just minutes down the road from dozens of world renowned farms that grow a wide variety of berries and other delicious produce.
